Take absolutely no notice of these Jeremiahs, wow! Outlook is no worse than most programs, and better than many. It is the de facto standard around the globe. Of course, when someone stands by the side of the road and sees 20 smashes, half of which involve Ford cars, they might think Fords are risky - but in proportion to the number being driven??
Nah - I have no time for the Micro$oft knockers. I remember the umpteen wasted days of my life in earlier times trying to get two programs to talk to each other on the same damn computer, let alone hundreds talking to each other all around the world. Like it or lump it, Micro$oft has played a key rôle in establishing standards.
That they are not bomb-proof standards is partly down to us: we all want things cheap, want them yesterday, want someone else to pay.
